What is liecoin!? joking… :grin:

There is a great group here, very helpful forum members!

I agree with losh11 that a client like electrum-ltc is much much easier to deal with compare to litecoin core. If you insist on using litecoin core, bakd247 has some good pointers. Here is just a few more to add.

First, make sure you’ve downloaded the latest litecoin core client from:

Next, to save a lot of time syncing from peers, you can ‘boostrap’ the initial blockchain sync (rather than spend a lot of time downloading blocks from peers)

If this technical mumbo jumbo looks like it’s too much, I’d definitely recommend sticking with electrum-ltc or like you ask there may be somebody local that can assist on-site. :thumbsup:
